Experience

• Co-founder, Creative Lead at Epic Inventions

  Austintown, United States of America

  May 2008 - November 2009

  After college, I partnered with a fellow student to form Epic Inventions to create a browser-based MMO with a PvP focus, EpicDuel. For much of the development time, I was the sole creative influence on the game, designing characters, environments, UI, marketing assets, and creating animations. After the launch of the game, we approached a much larger browser game company, Artix Entertainment, to grow our fledgling product. We reached an agreement in which our game was purchased and published under the Artix Entertainment brand while we continued development.
